⸙ cilvionne trochelle

ㅤWith enough butter, anything is good.ㅤ

ㅤmangeons bien !ㅤㅤA graduate of the Culinarians' Guild, Cilvionne has devoted her life to the art of cooking. Though she still has quite a bit to master, she aims to hone her skills as the Head Culinarian of House Triedame and its tavern venture in hopes that, one day, she'll be able to leave her mark upon the culinary world by publishing her own book of recipes.

ㅤcommitted culinarian !ㅤㅤAbove all else, Cilvionne is dedicated to the culinary arts. She loves food and what it represents, as well as the memories formed around it. Working as a culinarian is not something she views as a lesser station in life; rather, it is how she expresses herself. Preparing food for others is, in her eyes, the ultimate act of love.

ㅤaspiring artiste !ㅤㅤAfter a shameful defeat at the hands of her culinary rival, simply due to the fact that his plating technique was more impressive in the judges' eyes, Cilvionne has recently taken up the art of pictomancy — not with the intention of using it for combat, but with the thought that if she becomes better at art, it'll help her improve her presentation of dishes.

ㅤkitchen commander !ㅤㅤIt is a brave soul who seeks to set foot within Cilvionne's kitchen (with exception given to, of course, her employer and his companions). After two summers of running the kitchen of House Triedame in order to support her employer's business venture, Cilvionne has grown attached to the role, and to her, this kitchen has become her home.

ㅤterrible temper !ㅤㅤWhile of noble birth, Cilvionne certainly doesn't have the demure demeanor one might expect of an upperclass lady; rather, she's not to be crossed. Her temper is legendary amidst residents of House Triedame and guests of its downstairs tavern; insult her cooking, her kitchen, or her sensibilities, and she's apt to lay into you without hesitation.

head culinarian

ㅤcommonㅤ

Those who have attended an evening at The Fury's Hallow will be familiar with Cilvionne's cooking, as she handles all the food preparation for the duel tavern managed by her employer. While running the kitchens for a... less than conventional house and its business venture wasn't her intention upon returning to Ishgard, Cilvionne has quickly made a name for herself amongst the tavern's regulars, who both adore her cooking and fear her legendary temper.

trochelle's truant

ㅤuncommonㅤ

Cilvionne's passion for the culinary arts emerged at a young age, and rather than follow her father's wishes of entering the Scholasticate or her mother's hopes that she might wed to a wealthier family, Cilvionne left for Limsa Lominsa to study at its esteemed Culinarians' Guild. Perhaps you've heard of the daughter of House Trochelle who chose to enter into the service of another noble house rather than enter into a more respectable, traditional role.

plating plight

ㅤrareㅤ

For one with a trained culinary eye, they may notice that while Cilvionne's cooking techniques are top-of-the-line and her dishes are unquestionably delicious, her food plating... leaves something to be desired. Those who may have been present at the Culinarians' Guild in the last several summers might have witnessed a competition between Cilvionne and her sworn rival, Ivreux de Vauxtelle, in which she lost to him solely due to his better plating technique.

* = this isn't necessarily true; she'll be determined to try to cook you something you'll enjoy, pickiness be damned! she's never met a palate she hasn't been able to please!

⸙ clairyce de vauxtelle

ㅤbest friendㅤ

Cilvionne and Clairyce met at a young age and quickly grew close. Like Cilvionne, Clairyce shared a love of cooking, though she took a far less... intense approach to it than her dear friend. When Cilvionne professed her desire to venture to the Culinarians' Guild to pursue her tradecraft, Clairyce chose to accompany her — if only to be sure Cilvionne wasn't getting in over her head.

⸙ ivreux de vauxtelle

ㅤculinary rivalㅤ

Older half-brother to Clairyce, Ivreux and Cilvionne have never seen eye-to-eye over most matters, but especially over cooking. Ivreux, too, ventured to the Culinarians' Guild to pursue the craft (something Cilvionne greatly resented him for). There, the two fostered a bitter rivalry in which Cilvionne excelled in terms of taste, but Ivreux proved her superior when it came to presentation.

⸙ jacinthe lecuyer

carrd ↠ㅤ|ㅤㅤcoup de cœurㅤ

It's difficult to say what it was about Jacinthe that first caught Cilvionne's eye: perhaps it was her calm, kind disposition; maybe it was her past as a cannoneer during the Dragonsong War; or, simply, Cilvionne found herself weak to the sight of a lady in chainmail. Regardless of the reason, it's enough to leave Cilvionne flustered whenever Jacinthe happens to visit her kitchen.

⸙ shri'ke lanius

carrd ↠ㅤ|ㅤㅤemployerㅤ

Upon returning to Ishgard in search of a culinary position, it was Shri'ke who was willing to take a chance on Cilvionne when she arrived on his front doorstep, ready to roll up her sleeves and take command of House Triedame's kitchen. They get along quite well — so long as Shri'ke doesn't attempt to mess with her dishes, lest he be smacked in the head with a spatula (again).

⸙ faerval krunueldur

ㅤfellow residentㅤ

Quiet and contemplative, Faerval is an old soul and one who is always welcome in Cilvionne's kitchen. A veteran of two wars, Faerval fought for the liberation of both Dalmasca and Bozja, and he wears the scars of both. Having never left Eorzea, Cilvionne is always eager to hear his tales of far-off lands, especially when shared over a cup of tea.

⸙ leon blackwood

carrd ↠ㅤ|ㅤㅤpain in the derrièreㅤ

Listen. Cilvionne has a great amount of respect for Leon. It's thanks to him that the manor of House Triedame is even standing, after all, and she certainly won't discredit the happiness that he brings her employer. However, in recent moons, he's begun to drive her up a wall with his inane requests for odd combinations of food. Needless to say, master blackwood is on very thin ice.

⸙ lesinar jankovasch

ㅤcasse-tête culinaireㅤ

The Commander's most recent house-guest-turned-resident, Cilvionne isn't entirely sure what to make of Lesinar. The Bozjan is rough on the outside, to say the least — but Cilvionne is confident that there's a way past that gruff, abrasive exterior. Odds be damned, she's currently on a mission to figure out what dishes Lesinar likes best in hopes of earning the half-Hrothgar's favor.

ㅤkeep IC and OOC strictly separated !ㅤㅤif there is any crossover of this, communication will be cut entirely. i'm just here to roleplay my silly elezen food-enthusiast, please keep it focused on the prose, story-building, and in-character relationships! i do appreciate communication above all else; don't hesitate to ask for clarification if needed!

ㅤplease be 21+ as a writer !ㅤㅤwhile it isn't necessarily relevant for a character like cilvionne, i enjoy exploring mature themes with my characters, particularly in terms of darker content, and am not comfortable bridging that content or similar themes with writers under 21. (I trust in your ability to write, younger RPers! It is simply a comfort point for me.)

ㅤi prefer writing in paragraphs !ㅤㅤi tend to hit those (3/3) posts frequently. however, i am happy to adjust! styles, skills, and/or language barriers can absolutely be worked around so we can have fun writing together! don't hesitate to ask for shorter posts, more time to work on replies, or whatever will help you feel comfortable with the pace.

ㅤmy availability is limited !ㅤㅤi’m interested in both short-term and long-term scenes; however, my IRL schedule is rather busy, so short-term scenes are likely more feasible to get things started. if you’d like to discuss something long-term, contact me OOC! otherwise, don't hesitate to approach if you see cilvionne at an open-world event or working at The Fury's Hallow.
